The top four properties on the market in Melbourne's Glen Eira
Soaring Melbourne house prices have got the downsizer demographic questioning whether now is the best time they'll get to let go of the family home.
And that's certainly the case in the Glen Eira precinct, with Heath Thompson, director at Projects by Buxton, saying there's been a strong response from apartment buyers in recent weeks.
"Off the plan buying provides significant stamp duty savings for owner occupiers and the opportunity to secure a property at today’s market value and sell their home at later date to take advantage of capital growth in a rising market makes a lot of sense.”
Urban have wrapped up four of the best apartments and townhomes on the market in the Glen Eira LGA.
1. MCKN, McKinnon
Developer: Dealcorp
Prices: Two bedroom apartments start from $720,000
The longstanding Melbourne developer Dealcorp will soon be seeing buyers move in to MCKN, their boutique apartment development in McKinnon.
The project, comprising just 41 apartments across its five levels, has been designed by the award-winning architects RITZ&GHOUGASSIAN and is already 70 per cent sold ahead of its expected August completion.
MCKN has been a hit with families so far, as well as those planning to have kids, due to the size of each apartment and its proximity to McKinnon Secondary College, one of the state’s highest ranked schools.
2. Awaken, Brighton

Prices: Two bedroom apartment from $1.15 million
Awaken is the latest luxury development by the developer Skelton. Leading Melbourne architect Travis Walton designed the building, set in landscaping by ACRE.
